THE FIRST IN 15 YEARSChris Archer earned his eighth win last night, despite yielding 3 R/ER over 5 IP…he leads the AL with 116 SO, ahead of CLE Corey Kluber (111)…the last time any pitcher had Archer’s combina- tion of wins, strikeouts and ERA (2.18) on this date was 2000, when BOS Pedro Martinez (9 wins, 121 SO, 0.99 ERA) and ARI Randy Johnson (11, 150, 1.40) both did it en route to winning Cy Young Awards.

Ê Manager Kevin Cash was hired last Dec 6 after spending the past two seasons as the Indians bullpen coach under Terry Franconaof the six teams that hired new managers last offseason, five have winning records—but only the Rays and Astros (A.J. Hinch) are in first place…Hinch managed previously for Arizona. TITO FOLLOWS CASH INTO THE HISTORY BOOKS—Before this past weekend, it had been 25 years since any team had used two position play- ers as pitchers in a 9-inning game…then, in Saturday’s 16-4 loss to the Nationals, Rays Manager Kevin Cash used infielders Jake Elmore and Nick Franklin to pitch…the very next day (Sunday), Indians skipper Terry Francona employed Ryan Raburn and David Murphy to pitch in a 17-0 loss to the Cubs…prior to these, the last occurrence was July 20, 1990, when the Expos used Dave Martinez and Junior Noboa in a 12-6 loss at the Astrodome…Tom Foley also appeared as a defensive replacement in that game for Montreal. 30 SAVES IN 68 GAMES—Last night Brad Boxberger earned the team’s 30th save of the season, in their 68th game, tying the 1990 White Sox for 3rd fastest in major league history to 30 saves…only the 2001 Mariners (55th game) and 1997 Orioles (62nd) have gotten there faster…they’re on pace for 71 saves this season—the 1990 White Sox hold the major league record of 68 (led by Bobby Thigpen’s 57), and the club record is 52 (2008)…they’ve recorded a save in all but 8 of their wins. Ê With 16 saves, Boxberger has a chance to become the 10th different Rays save leader in the last 11 years. Ê The Rays bullpen threw 11 scoreless innings in 2 games at Nationals Park…the Rays bullpen leads the AL with 229 IP and 218 relief apps. THE SECRET SAUCE—Last night David DeJesus delivered a pinch-hit, RBI triple in the 6th…the Rays bench leads the majors with 39 hits, as well as 7 HR (tied with LAD), 28 RBI, a .331 avg. (39-for-118) and .380 OBP…the 7 HR off the bench are one shy of the club record (2009)…over the past 9 years (2006-14), the Rays bench never batted higher than .237 (2011) over a full season…no AL team has led the majors with hits off the bench over a full season since the 1984 World Champion Detroit Tigers (107)…the Rays have had 8 multi-hit games off the bench this year—no other team has more than 3 such games (Cardinals, Padres), and no other AL team has had 8 multi-hit games off the bench in a whole season since the 2006 White Sox.

#16 KEVIN CASH, MANAGER

TONIGHT’S STARTER—RH NATHAN KARNS (3-3, 3.67)

Ê LAST START—On Sun vs. CWS, only run allowed was an RBI single to Carlos Sanchez in the 2nd…the White Sox had a runner in scoring position in every inning against him…held them to 1-for-9 with RISP…had 8 SO, his 2nd-highest total of the season (9, May 8 vs. TEX)…left after 6 IP with a 1-0 deficit, but the Rays won, 2-1, following Asdrubal Cabrera’s 2-run homer off Chris Sale in the 7th…his line: ND, 6 IP, 7 H, 1 R/ER, 1 BB, 8 SO, 104 pitches, 70 strikes.

Ê THE TURNAROUND—In his first 4 starts, was 1-1 with a 5.32 ERA (23.2-IP, 16-H, 14-ER, 14-BB, 20-SO, 5-HR)…over his last 9 starts beginning April 27, is 2-2 with a 2.88 ERA (50-IP, 45-H, 16-ER, 16-BB, 48-SO, 4-HR)…has made 9 total starts of 2 runs or fewer, T-6th in the AL (see chart)…is 3-1 with a 1.93 ERA (51.1-IP, 11-ER) and 54 SO in those 9 games.

Ê CAN’T TOUCH THIS—Has allowed 2 hits or less in 4 starts this year, tied for most in the majors (see chart)…his .222 opp avg. would be the lowest by a major league rookie since MIA Jose Fernandez in 2013 (.182) and lowest by an AL rookie since TEX Yu Darvish in 2012 (.220).

Ê KARNS RANKS—Leads all major league rookies with a .222 opp avg. …ranks among major league rookie leaders in starts (13, T-1st), innings (73.2, 3rd) and SO (68, 2nd)—trailing SF Chris Heston (72).

Ê Has issued 30 BB, T-5th in the AL…ranks T-6th with 6 WP.

Ê ROOKIE REPORT—Karns is one of a major-league-most 16 rookies used by the Rays this season, tying the club record (2001, 2011)…will be the 30th time the Rays have used a rookie starting pitcher, most in the majors…four of the eight starting pitchers used by the Rays this season are rookies (Colome, Karns, Geltz, Andriese).

Ê THE LONG BALL—Is tied with Alex Colome for the team lead in HR allowed (9, in 73.2 IP)…however, has only yielded a homer in 3 of his last 9 starts (4 total, in 50 IP over that span), compared to 3 of his first 4 starts (5, in 23.2 IP)…has only allowed 2 HR in 22.2 IP on the road, both coming in his last road start on June 3 at LAA.

Ê UNCLE CHARLIE—26.1 percent of his pitches have been curveballs, 3rd in the majors and 2nd in the AL (see chart)…no qualifying Rays starter has ever thrown his curveball more frequently…highest was James Shields in 2011 (21.0 pct.).

Ê ON THE ROAD—Statistically, has only made 4 road starts, due to the relocation of his May 3 start from Baltimore to St. Pete…is 1-0 with a 2.38 ERA (22.2-IP, 6-ER) on the road…ranks among AL leaders (min. 20 IP) in opp avg (.143, 1st), opp OBP (.230, 3rd), opp SLG (.260, 4th), and ERA (2.38, 10th) away from home.

Ê DECEIVING RECORD—Has only factored in the decision in 6 of his 13 starts (3-3)…however, four times he has left a game in line for the win, but received no decision after the Rays bullpen blew the save:

Date Left BSv Inn. Details 4/17 vs. NYY up, 4-2 Frieri 6th Alex Rodriguez HR 5/3 vs. BAL up, 2-0 Jepsen 7th Jimmy Paredes 2B 5/29 vs. BAL up, 1-0 Jepsen 7th Chris Davis HR 6/3 at LAA up, 5-4 Boxberger 9th Erick Aybar SF

Ê GOT HIS NUMBER—Went 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA (10.2-IP, 8-ER, 3-HR) in two starts this season against the Angels…against all other oppo-nents, is 3-2 with a 3.14 ERA (63-IP, 22-ER)…his first of two straight starts against the Angels snapped a streak of allowing 2 runs or fewer in 6 straight starts, which fell one shy of Matt Moore’s club record for a rookie (2012)…that streak is still tied for the longest in the AL this year.

Ê HIGHLY REGARDED—Entered 2015 rated by Baseball America as the No. 7 prospect in the Rays system and No. 2 pitching prospect behind Alex Colome…the publication also recognized him as Best Curveball in the organization.

Ê RESPECT YOUR ELDERS—The 27-year-old made his first Opening Day roster and is the oldest member of the Rays current starting rotation…RH Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) is seven weeks his senior.

Ê KARNS, WITH A K—Has struck out 515 batters in 449.1 IP lifetime in the minors (10.3 SO/9 IP) while holding opponents to a .215 avg. …last season, led all Rays minor leaguers with 153 SO and tied Rochester’s (Twins) Alex Meyer for most among Triple-A pitchers.

Ê Ejected on May 10 vs. TEX in the 5th inning by HP umpire Mike Estabrook for arguing balls and strikes…was his second ejection as a manager.

Ê 37-year-old manager is the youngest skipper in the majors since ARI A.J. Hinch (34) in 2009 and youngest active manager/head coach in the four major sports, ahead of Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens (38).
